I can't lie, we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express right in Scottsdale. Free breakfast every morning and free beer/wine from 5-7 each day. I don't need anything more out of a hotel than that. It was walking distance from some good bars and good food. Drank at the bars during the day and hit up the free booze before dinner.
BTW. The Herb Box (restaurant, Vin, calm down) was excellent. I guess I don't know how the rest of the food was, but my shrimp with a jalapeno/wine reduction sauce was insane good.
Free beer from 5/7? How much did you pay for that HIE?
